Ok, but I have a question. In the end they are driving off in the ambulance and "Adalaide" looks over at "Jason" and in the reflection in the window you can see the mask of Pluto. I rewound the movie twice and still saw the same thing. Although, on the second time I may have looked too hard and deduced that it was the reflection of the white shirt he was wearing and not Pluto's mask. Anyone else see a mask?
It actually kind of is. Replace voodoo with hypnotism and there you go.
As a director I think he does fine, if not great. Direction is not really something I notice in a movie unless it is done horribly. But as a writer, I think that this was convoluted tripe. So many questions, from character motivations, to continuity are never answered. This is not a directing problem but one that stems from bad storytelling. But seeing as how he both wrote and directed the film, my dislike of the movie does fall squarely on him. I guess.
His scumbag personality was apparent since the 90's. There is a red carpet interview with him where he actually spits on the interviewer.
Maybe they are setting things up for the final season. Maybe a time jump? But I doubt. They have to do one more crossover in the last season.
Ok, here's the thing. I NEVER said that I thought the gay population of 14th century England was 30% homosexual. I simply implied that there was no way you could possibly know that 97% were hetero. Statistics that are true now do not transcend the whole of history. For instance, it was VERY common in some parts of ancient Greece for boys to have sexual relations with each other and men. Considering the time they lived in it would be very detrimental for a person of the 14th century to admit to being a homosexual.
And while your at it, try reading the book you advised me to read. (Which, of coarse I have.) And also, try reading more than one historical account of the lives of the English monarchs. I find Antonia Fraser to be highly biased. So read other sources to get a full account and maybe do some research on your own before you spout off inaccuracies like they are "bible" truth.
Also, me correcting your misinformation does not make me a bully. History is important and it should be remembered accurately. But, yes, you are correct in assuming I get angry when misinformation is spread about the internet.
Ok. AmeriGirl26, You are obviously history illiterate, so allow me to school you. First of all, Edward IV was NOT gay. You must be thinking of Edward II who was reputed to have gay dalliances. Another thing you have wrong is that it was a rival king who overthrew him. It was his own wife and her lover who traveled to France (her home country) and came back with an army to dispose him and set their son (Edward's and Isabella's) on the throne. And while Edward II was imprisoned, it is unlikely that he was stuck with a hot poker whilst using the facilities. That is a very outrageous fallacy. Most likely he succumbed to dysentery.
Also, I have to ask. Are you a time traveler? How do you know that 97% of people back then were heterosexual? And if you did indeed travel back in time and take a census, how can you be sure that all of them were telling the truth? Just curious.
Oh, and another thing, witches weren't burned. They were hanged or drowned. Heretics were burned.
Just putting this out there but Claire Danes does an ugly cry like nobody's business. She really commits.
